'lihisinvention relates to improvements in penuxnatie tire gaiters andconsists oi at strap or gaiter which can be readily lacerl antiiastenerl around the air tube of t e tire when the latter is deflatedand can he movetl to any part of the tire to Zorotect the inner tubefrom the results of n lourst or damaged nart of the outer covering enolto prevent expansion of the air tube against the burst, thus enablingthe tire to continue in use. The gaiter is providetl with fasteningmeans comprising male and female hinge parts edlaptecl to he connectfitogether by means or a removable pin.

The snnexeol drawings illustrate the invention.
